Council Delays Decision on Inns
The Chapel Hill Town
Council voted to postpone
making a decision to allow
bed & breakfasts in town.
By Sarah Jirek
Staff Writer
Despite indications that a proposed
ordinance concerning bed &
breakfasts would pass, Chapel Hill Town
Council members postponed a decision
Monday night.
A petition to allow bed & breakfasts
in historic Chapel Hill was brought to
the council on Sept 28,1998. The coun
cil has had discussions on the matter and
was expected to approve the ordinance
at Monday nights meeting.
Joel Harper, president of the town’s
Chamber of Commerce, said he thought
the addition of the bed & breakfasts
would be a welcome addition to the
town.

Student Forum Probes DTH Coverage
The Association for Student
Leaders is designed to start
a dialogue between campus
leaders and the DTH.
By Sophia Raff
Staff Writer
More than 50 student leaders met
Monday night to discuss The Daily Tar
Heel and its commitment to fairly rep
resenting the campus and the University
community.
The Association of Student Leaders,
a group started by DTH Editor Rob
Nelson, held its first open discussion in
efforts to bridge the gap between the
DTH and its readers.
“The DTH will always be the prime
source of information at Carolina, and
we take that very seriously,” he said.
Nelson said he formed the ASL to

Harper said. “The
people are quiet
and they have lit
tle impact on the
neighborhood.”
Harper said he
wished that the
ordinance would
pass, although he
expressed con
cern that it might
fail.
Harper said he

were too many rules and stipulations
that might be financially impossible for
owners and customers.
“It is one thing to pass an ordinance
for bed & breakfasts, but it is an entire
ly different matter to pass an ordinance
that is realistically doable,” he said.
Under the Home Occupation
Ordinance, bed & breakfast establish
ments are allowed to operate, but cer
avoid communication problems
between the DTH and campus groups.
Many club members said they were
concerned with what they saw as the
paper’s inattentiveness to important
campus issues.
Such concerns involved coverage of
international events, community aware-
ness of rape and
assault support out
lets, and gay, les
bian and bisexual
rights.
“In the under
graduate bulletin
for the current
year, sexual orien
tation was left out
of the nondiscrimi
nation policy,” said
“The DTH will always be the
prime source of information
at Carolina, and we take
that very seriously. ”

Depending upon the size of the
house, a homeowner can use up to three
guest rooms.
No more than 35 percent or more
than 750 square feet of the dwelling can
be used in the conduct of the bed &
breakfast.
Council members had expressed sup
port for the ordinance.
“I think that for
some people it
would be an alter
native to having to
rent out their
house,” said coun
cil member Pat
Evans.

However, Historic District members
breathed a sigh of relief when Lee Pavao
motioned to move the ordinance to the
table, in effect postponing the ordinance

because of it.”
Other groups, such as Amnesty
International, the Black Student
Movement and the Loreleis stressed
more event coverage.
Several groups used the forum to
address other student organizations that
do not usually
have the opportu
nity to interact
with each other.

Committee to the

Residents of the Franklin-Rosemary

from the start saying they felt that the
ordinance would make it easier for a few
people to accelerate commercial activi

ble questions the search committee
might present to the final chancellor
candidates, Jemigan said.
Some students praised the ASL for its
mission to connect the DTH with stu
dent organizations.
“There were definitely communica
tion problems between the DTH and
student organizations,” said Monjca
Dev of Sangam, the South Asian aware
ness organization.
“I think the association will alleviate
many of these problems.”
DTH Managing Editor Vicky
Eckenrode said the success of the new
board depended on the exchange of
information between campus groups
and the paper’s editors.
“The DTH has a responsibility to
cover this community and the work stu
dents are doing on this campus,” she
said. “But we won’t know what students
discuss in general body meetings unless
there is an effort from group leaders to
relay that information to us.”
